    Doc: improve description of trim() and related functions. · 213c0f2d
    Tom Lane authored
    Per bug #14441 from Mark Pether, the documentation could be misread,
    mainly because some of the examples failed to show what happens with
    a multicharacter "characters to trim" string.  Also, while the text
    description in most of these entries was fairly clear that the
    "characters" argument is a set of characters not a substring to match,
    some of them used variant wording that was a bit less clear.
    trim() itself suffered from both deficiencies and was thus pretty
    misinterpretable.
    
    Also fix failure to explain which of LEADING/TRAILING/BOTH is the
    default.
